It’s been our dream to be able to provide yarn made 100% on the farm at scale, since we couldn’t keep up with just our spinning wheels. The realization of this dream has been made possible recently by a very generous donor, Chinburg properties, who acquired the mill after Jaggerspun went out of business. They will be turning the mill into much needed housing, and have donated some of the historic textile equipment to us.
We are still in the process of getting the machinery dismantled and moved to our farm in Searsport. We are putting everything we have into making this dream a reality.
We need to build a barn addition and install 3-phase power to make it happen, but we are hoping to open our textile mill by late 2026. We plan to offer natural colored (undyed) yarn, as well as botanically dyed yarn. We plan on making yarn with fiber from animals kept on our farm and fiber purchased from local farmers. We would also like to make textile milling services more accessible to local farmers who want their own yarn made from the fiber they grow.


We have had many people ask us for a way to support our endeavor somehow, including through crowdfunding, so we created a gofundme campaign so that those who want to help can.
We do plan on opening an online store as soon as we can, as well. We will be selling Jaggerspun/WSNE milled wool yarn (primarily organic lace weight) that we are in the process of hand painting/dyeing with botanical dyes. We also will be selling some combed top, which we got in addition to the equipment — there is superwash merino (we were told it is what was used to make Jaggerspun’s Superfine Merino line and the top colors perfectly match the colorcard) and a very limited amount of variegated wool top (we aren’t sure which line this produced — some of the colors are reminiscent of the heather line).
Thank you for your interest in our textile mill, we look forward to sharing our journey with you! I post regular updates to our Instagram and Facebook, and plan on starting a blog for those who are not a fan of social media.
